    This was the best meal I've ever had. Start to finish, G&G has the most friendly, incredible staff anywhere. Jonathan took great care of us, and the food was unreal. Please do yourself a favor and dine here. You can't go wrong with anything, and make sure to get the High Roller cocktail. 1,000,000 out of 10!!!

    For some reason (and really not even planning it), for the last few years we’ve been celebrating our wedding anniversary at Guard and Grace. Is it food? Is it the ambience? Is it the customer service? Really it’s all three. This year we somehow snagged an opening at the very last possible minute and we were warmly welcomed. We had the oysters, wedge salad, French onion soup, Brussels sprouts, whipped potatoes, and steaks, which were all in plentiful portions. Most importantly was the attention our server Travis gave us to help us celebrate: a couple glasses of champagne, an unexpected dessert, and what was most touching was a card signed by all of the staff, all of which was done on little advance notice. Thanks to all of the staff at Guard and Grace for a wonderful meal and a wonderful experience.

    Hands down my new go to steak house in Denver! Food was excellent! Service was top tier from the attention to detail, allergy restrictions and tons of little touches that make this excellent choice for date night! Food was perfectly cooked, which is normally difficult because my wife likes her steak medium well and I like my steak medium rare so one of us always get screw screwed if not both of us not here both were cooked perfect! When they tell you that the sides are extremely large, they are not joking. Probably the best brussels sprouts I’ve had at a steakhouse. This was probably the best restaurant experience me and my wife have had since the start of COVID an a top 3 all time.

    We had a tremendous experience at G&G. The food was tremendous from the tuna starter to the cod, filet, lamb rags special, house and Caesar salads. James, our server, was attentive and well versed on the menu and specials. This is our fourth visit to the restaurant and each experience has been outstanding and remarkably consistent. This restaurant was buzzing when we arrived at 5:45. The vibrant energy does translate into a noisy environment. If you are needing a quieter evening, then ask to be seated in one of several areas that are off the main floor of the restaurant. This is an expensive night out to be sure but consistent with other outstanding big city fine dining restaurants. I believe that you will find the outstanding food, service and ambiance. All of which are unparalleled.

    Food was one of the best we have had in quite awhile. The octopus appetizer was delicious. Steaks were excellent and the service very friendly. Noise level was very high. We had difficulty having a conversation. The music could be turned down a bit. We will definitely go back but will request a booth or a table where it’s not as noisy.
